Summary: This study investigated the incorporation of MPC and DMAHDM into a denture base material for the treatment of denture stomatitis. The results demonstrated that the dual incorporation of MPC and DMAHDM significantly reduced the adherence of C. albicans and could potentially reduce the prevalence of denture stomatitis. However, the addition of these bioactive agents reduced the flexural strength of the material and had some impact on surface roughness.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the adherence of Streptococcus spp. and Candida spp. on 3D-printed denture bases prepared at different build orientations. The results showed that build orientation affects the adherence affinity of the denture base resin, and there was no significant difference between different groups of microbes. Printing dentures at a 0-degree build orientation can reduce microbial adhesion.

Summary: The denture-lining material containing Cnidium officinale extract showed comparable biocompatibility to the control group, but exhibited significantly higher antifungal efficacy against Candida albicans. This suggests the potential of using Cnidium officinale extract in dental materials for antifungal purposes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of incorporating MPC into a new HIPA resin on the surface roughness, solution pH, and C. albicans biofilm adhesion to denture base. The results showed that incorporating 4.5% MPC led to a significant reduction in colony-forming units compared to the control group.

Summary: Incorporating Litsea cubeba essential oil into soft lining materials inhibited the growth of Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans without affecting cytotoxicity and surface hardness. The higher the concentration of LCEO, the greater the inhibitory effect on oral pathogens without compromising the integrity of the materials.

Summary: This study evaluated the induction of denture stomatitis (DS) using acrylic devices and Candida spp. in rats. The results showed that both Candida spp. and acrylic devices did not cause significant inflammation in immunocompetent rats, but the shift in microbiota may precede the manifestation of inflammation.

Summary: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different disinfection protocols on the water contact angle and microhardness of CAD-CAM PMMA materials. The results showed that both the disinfection protocol and the material type had a significant impact on the water contact angle and microhardness of the PMMA materials.

Summary: DBR materials used in dentistry for constructing dentures and prostheses pose a high risk of denture stomatitis, causing inflammation of soft oral tissues. Fungal attachment, mainly by Candida albicans, to DBRs is a major cause of the disease. Attempts have been made to incorporate antimicrobial compounds and particles into DBRs to prevent microbial attachment. This review explores advanced approaches to designing bioactive and antimicrobial DBR materials, emphasizing the importance of mechanical and physical sustainability.
